Which SuPeRSMART component relates to incentives used to support adherence?

• A. Specific
• B. Time-bound
• C. Public
• D. Reward

Answer: (D)

In SuPeRSMART, incentives used to support adherence are captured by the reward component. Rewards provide positive reinforcement for engaging in the desired behavior, such as taking medication on schedule or completing a health task. By offering a meaningful, timely incentive, the person connecting the action with a tangible benefit becomes more motivated to repeat the behavior, especially when motivation wanes. This reinforcement helps establish consistency and adherence over time. While being specific, time-bound, or public helps clarify goals and accountability, they do not inherently introduce incentives—the reward element is specifically about using incentives to support adherence.
